Since you been gone
Every morning when I wake up
I check the mail every half hour
Run to open every knock at the door
Quickly pick up all rings of the telephone
Hoping I would hear you say 'Hello'.
I would visit our love posts
Pick up you grocery delights
Sing those songs that make you cry and want to hold me
Sit at the porch waiting your return
Hoping you would walk up the stairs any minute.
I would call your best friends
Tearfully ask where you are and when you would be back
Marking my calender any said dates
Never changing the door keys
Leaving no reason to miss you back.
I have long been waiting
My heart has trained to be ready
My love grown tender and patient
Arms stretched for your hug
For you to come back to me again.
